Track Logs

The built in location data unit can log information on the camera’s current position (latitude, longitude, altitude) and the current time (UTC) as provided by satellite navigation systems. Location data are recorded automatically at preset intervals and saved to a track log file stored separately from the pictures taken with the camera. The supplied ViewNX 2 software (0 154) can then be used to view the track on a map.
